History
Yoshi's Story
In Yoshi's Story, Pak E. Derm holds up a sign and does not let Yoshi pass. He stands in the middle of the path Yoshi is taking, and will move to the other path if Yoshi moves to the other path. To pass, Yoshi has to Ground Pound the ground, and Pak E. Derm will fall on his head, allowing Yoshi to pass. Yoshi has to act quickly because Pak E. Derm will soon flip back upright. Yoshi encounters Pak E. Derm three times throughout the first level, and he does not appear thereafter. Pak E. Derm's Message Block states, "Pak E. Derm will not let you by, unless you give something special a try."
